Clever bobbin storage
 
The simplest idea is the one with the rubber bands. http://www.minneapolismqg.com/2012/0...anization.html

I like that rubber band method, too.

I tried the others and ended up going with the rubber band method. With the bobbin attached to the matching spool of thread you know the type of thread on the bobbin. No guessing.

Just be careful with rubber bands......unless they are newly purchased....seems they dry out quickly and break.....just been my experience using them for other things

Me, too! I've been storing the spool and bobbin in ziplock bags but the rubber band is a good idea.

Such a clever idea. I use one of the bobbin boxes, but still the threads are all over the place. Now I just need to buy some rubber bands.

Cool idea. Rubber bands! I was looking at my thread rack yesterday trying to figure out how to match my bobbins to the thread spools. Now I know the fix. Thank you for the link.
